Iran announced on Sunday that it has arrested a number of terrorists behind the recent deadly bombings in the Grand Mosque of the southeastern city of Zahedan, FARS News agency reported.
"A number of suspects and individuals who have assisted in the bombing have been arrested," General Director of Sistan and Balouchestan's provincial Justice Department Hojjatoleslam Ebrahim Hamidi told FNA today.
"Further investigations are underway in this regard," the official added.
On July 15, two bomb blasts in front of the Zahedan Grand Mosque in Iran's southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan killed at least 27 people and injured over 270 more.
The Pakistan-based Jundollah terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Jundollah is responsible for several terrorist operations which have killed tens of citizens, officials and security forces in southeastern Iran.
